Hopefully the bodine is not a hysteresis type synchronous motor. These
will start up in a different phase position every time. The
phase will need to be reset every time the Tesla coil is run.
A salient pole or reaction type synchronous motor will
start up in the same phase position every time.
Cheers,
John

Subject: Re: [TCML] Resin or fiberglass perfboard for terry filter?
You can see what I'm building on my brand new shutterfly page at
https://teslafirma.shutterfly.com/
My spark gap disk has 6 electrodes mounted in copper holders so I need a
1200rpm synchronous motor. I found one at
https://www.surplussales.com/Motors/Motors-2.html
My plan is to sell my old motor-vfd pair, get the bodine and end up with
some extra cash.
I rebuilt my rc filter on a thin piece of lexan and I'll test it today.
Thanks for the tip on the RG8, I'll get some and strip it.
It was a real chore finding a pair of 15/60 nst's and I want to keep
them healthy and long lived.
Thanks for this invaluable resource, I feel like I have dodged a transient!
